#1  If the Queen or that worthless lump Charles were worth a damn, she would use one of her many billions of pounds to create a Caribbean military brigade to protect England from harm, when emergencies threaten.

Since the government has abrogated one of the few REAL duties of a government, national defense, then they have lost their legitimacy.

If a crisis did occur, the Queen could move to Canada, appoint a Lord Protector of England to purge the government of such fools, backed by a mechanized brigade loyal only to the Queen.

The first act of the Lord Protector would be the conscription of a new English Army, followed shortly thereafter by the expulsion from England of foreign individuals disloyal to the crown.
